quit keeping sheep.
Oar county council, P. of H., meets

are alive and becoming thoroughly posted,
but I would ask, can a man or woman
be a good patron and not take the Farmer, or some other agricultural paper?
Our Grange 367'Mt. Pleasant, is in a
healthy condition, we are practicing the
unwritten work.
Our county is one of the moat productive in the State, the soil mostly bottom and second bottom, even what is
called hills by proper cultivation can be
made quite productive. The farmers of
our county, both men and women for
intelligence, hospitality and perseverance
will compare with any county in the
State. Our county meat, Columbus, is
quite a business center, containing three
mills, (two hominy and one flour.) Four
first-class hotels and innumerable boarding and eating houses. Dry good and
provision stores innumerable; six fine
churches,and doggeries enough to fill jails,
alms houses, penitentiaries and widows

I will write a few lines to the good old

well so far. Corn not very plenty and selling
at 35 and 40 centa. Wheat not to be had at

promises a good crop. Money scarce. Grange

I see in your valuable paper a great deal
said about fine horses, hogs, cattle and sheep
and once in awhile a little on wheat, eta, but
nothing about oats. Will some one tell me
the best time and way for sowing oats, and
whether in the light or dark of the moon,
and how much to the acre? I have a new
kind of oats, called the California oats. I
sowed three and one-half acres about the 15th
of April last year, and thrashed out 23G
bushels, machine measure. They are a good
variety and I have some seed to spare. I
send you a sample to show to tlie farmers
Who call on you. J. D. Lowdkn.
Ahb.—Onr beet farmers sow from two to
two and a half bushels of oata to the acre,
when the ground is in good condition, without regard to the moon. If Mr. L. Is in
doubt about the effect of the moon on" the
growth of his oats, we recommend that he
experiment a little on the subject, and
part of his oats in the light and part in
dark, ground and preparation being the same
in both cases. We think he will find that
the condition of the moon has very little to
. Cbampnlrn Connty—Feb. 22nd'.
• From preeent appearances and current talk,
and feeling on the subject, I feel warranted in
saving that the farmers here will put in immense .crops of oats and corn the coming
season.. I tbink the o its crop will be the
largest ever sown. Some of the more tender
variet'r^of fruit buds are killed. The weather

B. E.
Jackson Connty—Feb. 23rd.
The peach buds are all cafe yet in the great
peach districts here in Southern Illinois, and
at this time prospect for a splendid peach
crop is fine. As about in nine times out of
ten the peach buds, when killed at all are
killed in December, we conclude that we
are pretty safe now. Wheat also looks green
and fine in all this ygion. Fabmeb.
Marlon County—Feb. 21at,
We feel pretty confident here for the coming wheat crop." • The acreage sown is very
large, mainly of the Mediterranean variety,
and the crop under the few past weeks of

and-well generally. Plowing for spring crops
is going on rapidly in dry ground.

Mercer Connty—Feb. 24tb.
I see that the Fabmeb recommends sowing
■alt broadcast on wheat. I tried four bushels
to the acre last year, sowing it in March on a
small field, or a part of tbe field, and the part
where the salt was sown ripened sooner and
did mnchebetter in yield and every way than
the other did. I shall sow it again this
spring. Wheat is all right here, but peaches
are killed we fear. A Fabmeb.
"Lotan County—Feb. 23rd.
t A correspondent of the Fabmeb states that
his wheat on rich bottom or muck land
grows very rank, but falls down, and the
crop is partly lost. Now if such farmers will
sow five to six bushels of common salt on
such lands, it will stiffen the straw so that it
will not fall. There is an absence of this
element in that'kind of soil, is the reason that
the wheat falls. Supply the deficiency with
salt and it won't fall. I know this from experience. • D.' R.
Clay Connty—Feb. 20tlv.
Wheat is looking well in all this region,
and if nothing hurts it from now on we will
reap a good crop most certainly. There is a
large surplus of corn in tbe hands of farm-
ers yet. Weather has been fine for three
weeks. R. D.J.
. Donipban Connty—Feb. 23rd.
It is feared that Kansas will need much of
her last year's big corn crop, in view of the
probability of the hopper pest. There is a
large surplus of corn still on hand, and I
think will be held till late in the season. The
hog cholera has nearly subsided. Not much
wheat sown, but what is sown looks all right
yet.' The talk is all about methods of fight

On last Thursday morning, my son's
barn, five miles west of Eushville, was
burned with all its contents but one horse,
and that one waa badly burned. There
was burned v»ith the barn, four head of
horses, one span of muUs, for which he
had paid three hundred dollars, just three
weeks before the fire, about twenty tons
of hay, 500 bushels of corn, buggy, wagon,
field roller, reaper and mower, corn drill,
two cultivators, plows and harness for six
horses, etc. The barn was built last year
and cost about $1,000. Tutal loss about
$3,000. No insurance. G. W. Reeve.

To impoverish the ground through lack

to accomplish both the above results.

lb the Editor* Indiana Farmer:
In my last I spoke of the fearful
slaughter of sheep by dogs; they have
killed Borne entire flocks. I think people in this neighborhood will be forced to
quit keeping sheep.
Oar county council, P. of H., meets
the first Monday in March. The patrons
are alive and becoming thoroughly posted,
but I would ask, can a man or woman
be a good patron and not take the Farmer, or some other agricultural paper?
Our Grange 367'Mt. Pleasant, is in a
healthy condition, we are practicing the
unwritten work.
Our county is one of the moat productive in the State, the soil mostly bottom and second bottom, even what is
called hills by proper cultivation can be
made quite productive. The farmers of
our county, both men and women for
intelligence, hospitality and perseverance
will compare with any county in the
State. Our county meat, Columbus, is
quite a business center, containing three
mills, (two hominy and one flour.) Four
first-class hotels and innumerable boarding and eating houses. Dry good and
provision stores innumerable; six fine
churches,and doggeries enough to fill jails,
alms houses, penitentiaries and widows
orphan homes innumerable.
